The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.

Everything seemed to go smoothly and the director was really

I recently attended a wake and funeral at this funeral home. The staff appear to not be well-versed in funeral etiquette, patience and dignity. The calling hours were from 4pm - 7pm. At 7:04pm, staff quickly and brusquely stalked through the rooms announcing loudly that the calling hours were over and everyone must exit the building...including the grieving immediate family. It was unusual and unnerving. The funeral was the next morning. The obituary stated that it was at 9:00. My husband and I arrived approximately 10 minutes early and used the restrooms. When we each exited the restrooms, the
